Russia Pounds Ukraine’s Grid and Rail in Overnight Barrage as Talks With U.S. Envoys Continue

A brief power loss at Zaporizhzhia underscored grid risks during winter strikes.

Overview

  • Ukraine reported 653 drones and 51 missiles launched overnight, with air defenses downing about 585 drones and 30 missiles as 29 locations were struck.
  • At least eight people were injured, and authorities imposed rolling outages nationwide, with Odesa reporting 9,500 without heat and 34,000 without water.
  • The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant briefly lost all off‑site power before partial reconnection, the IAEA said, with radiation levels normal.
  • A drone strike burned down Fastiv’s main railway station near Kyiv and disrupted suburban services, while fires hit warehouses and energy sites in several regions.
  • Kyiv said it struck Russia’s Ryazan oil refinery as Moscow touted a “massive” retaliatory strike, Poland scrambled jets as a precaution, and U.S‑mediated negotiations continued in Florida with a London leaders’ meeting planned for Monday.
